presetIntelligently deploys Azure OpenAI models to optimal regions by analyzing capacity across all available regions.
Preset is an agent skill from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Intelligently deploys Azure OpenAI models to optimal regions by analyzing capacity across all available regions. Automatically checks current region first and shows alternatives if needed. USE FOR: quick deployment, optimal region, best region, automatic region selection, fast setup, multi-region capacity check, high availability deployment, deploy to best location. DO NOT USE FOR: custom SKU selection (use customize), specific version selection (use customize), custom capacity configuration (use customize), PTU…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `EXAMPLES.md`, `references/preset-workflow.md` and `references/workflow.md`).
It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Deployment and Backup and disaster recovery. It works with Microsoft Azure and Azure OpenAI. The repository describes itself as: GitHub Copilot for Azure. The licence is MIT.
7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fcf2f3b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
azFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use az, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Preset loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~8.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 138 tokens; SKILL.md has 407 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill preset -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/azure-skills/skills/microsoft-foundry/models/deploy-model/preset in microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure) into .claude/skills/preset in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill preset -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (plugins/azure-skills/skills/microsoft-foundry/models/deploy-model/preset in microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure) into .agents/skills/preset in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure --skill preset -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/preset, .gemini/skills/preset, .github/skills/preset and .opencode/skills/preset in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Preset needs the command-line tools its instructions call (az).
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Preset is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.2k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 4.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 7.1k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Preset: Azure AI Deploy (timothywarner-org/claude-code, 224 stars), Azure Resource Manager Mysql Dotnet (microsoft/skills, 3.1k stars), Azure Resource Manager Postgresql Dotnet (microsoft/skills, 3.1k stars) and Azure Architecture Autopilot (github/awesome-copilot, 40k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
